Imagine you go to a remote country with no internet and suddenly, the kobo bugs and needs to be hard reset, then it becomes un-usable.
Thanks

You make an interesting point re giving Kobo your details on initial setup, and it seems from the other posters that there are ways and means to get around it.
I've only owned a Kobo (Glo) for a month or so, and what I decided early on was to create a dummy Kobo account which is activated on the device.
This dummy account does not get used to buy Kobo books, but I have downloaded the Kobo Desktop software, so I can sync and upgrade the Glo software as and when required by attaching the Glo to the PC.
I do not use the built in wifi - I have no need for it.
I only download Calibre cleaned and side loaded epubs to the Main memory, and don't store books on the device, just put them on when required and delete them after reading because Calibre is my library.
So that is, there are no Kepubs on my device - I can't see the need for them.
